Business Options

[highlight_content]
Our BUSINESS OPTIONS can help your company reduce the high cost of conflict in the workplace.
[/highlight_content]

Problems such as ineffective communication and working styles, stolen time, gossip, personality differences, overuse of sick time, turnover and low morale cost companies money. Once the downward spiral starts, the problems become part of the organization’s culture. We can help with specific problems or large-scale cultural change initiatives. Each problem may require one service, or a combination of the services featured below.

Mediation

A process where a neutral, impartial person helps two or more people discuss a problem with the goal of negotiating a written agreement that will resolve the issue and prevent future problems.[/one_third]

Group Facilitation

Much like mediation with more disputants. A neutral facilitator works with a group to discuss disagreements in a productive manner with the goal of drafting a mutually agreeable solution.[/one_third][one_third class=”lastcols”]

A coach will work with an individual to talk through a specific problem and help that person think through potential solutions and create a strategy for resolving the problem.[/one_third]

External Ombudsman

OvalOptions will maintain an organization’s conflict management system, allowing employees and staff to have a confidential outlet for any dispute that arises.
